Aircraft Level Requirements Engineer

Role Overview

We are seeking a highly skilled and motivated Aircraft Level Requirements Engineer to join our dynamic team. As an Aircraft Level Requirements Engineer, you will play a critical role in defining, managing, and ensuring the compliance of aircraft-level requirements for our eVTOL platforms. You will work closely with cross-functional teams including design, systems engineering, certification, and flight test to ensure that our aircraft meet regulatory standards, customer expectations, and internal objectives.

Responsibilities

• Develop and maintain aircraft-level requirements documents, including system requirements specifications, interface control documents, and traceability matrices.
• Collaborate with stakeholders to elicit, analyze, prioritize, and validate requirements from various sources including regulatory agencies, internal and external stakeholders, and industry standards.
• Define and manage requirements baselines throughout the product lifecycle, ensuring traceability and consistency across all levels of requirements.
• Conduct requirement reviews and ensure compliance with relevant airworthiness regulations (e.g., JCAB, FAA) and industry standards (e.g., RTCA, SAE).
• Work closely with systems engineers, design engineers, and certification specialists to ensure that requirements are properly allocated, verified, and validated.
• Support the development of verification and validation plans and participate in test activities to ensure that requirements are adequately verified and validated.
• Provide technical guidance and support to cross-functional teams on requirement-related issues, including change management and configuration control.
• Identify and mitigate risks associated with requirements management and compliance, and drive continuous improvement initiatives.

Job Highlights

eVTOL is attracting attention all over the world. It’s a difficult mission but you have the unique chance in leading the design of a product (extols)which has not been introduced to the world, make the dreams of millions of people come true and make a direct contribution to society by solving urban traffic problems.
